The Federal Unemployment Compensation Extension program was first signed into law in June 2008 by President George W. Bush, when the unemployment rate was 5.6% and the average (state?) duration of jobless insurance was 17.1 weeks.

The unemployment rate climbed to more than 10% at the height of the Great Recession in 2009, and the government extended the federal benefits to jobless Americans whose state unemployment insurance had run out. However, thanks to a weak recovery, those benefits have been either extended or expanded 11 times, most recently on Jan. 2 (Congress lengthened the deadline to file for benefits in February, but lawmakers also restructured the program at the time. The maximum number of weeks the jobless can collect unemployment benefits was reduced to 73 weeks (state and federal combined). Today, the unemployment rate is at 7.0%, and the average duration of the benefits is an extra 36.1 weeks. http://cnnmon.ie/18JJrjI
